Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid browning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir constantly over low heat until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until all pieces are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Using a greased spatula or lightly buttered hands, gently press the mixture into an even layer. Be careful not to press too firmly as this can make the treats dense.
Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 12 squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
